Hola! This course is for beginning Spanish learners. Each learner will need a notebook that is used specifically as their Spanish Journal.

We'll learn using slides, short video clips, visuals, and games. Students will interact with each other and with me. I'll do minimal talking (other than modeling pronunciation and polite error correction), as learners will be doing most of the talking to maximize language output and practice. My style is professional and serious, but also fun! Vámonos, amigos!
